Geek Flowchart From The New York Times
via Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome by (author unknown) on May 06, 2008
This is a flowchart from The New York Times that explains that if you're exposed to Dungeons and Dragons too early in life you end up developing an intense relationship with computers and never get any sunlight or chicks. It's pretty accurate. Especially the part about LOLCATS, those little guys are just too precious. And I love they way they talk. HAY I IZ IN UR POST BEIN CUTEZ. ...

Dave Jones: wifi detectors.
via Kernel Planet by (author unknown) on May 06, 2008
I thought this was absurd when I saw it. Given the ubiquity of 802.11 signals pretty much everywhere (Even at my parents place in the boonies of the welsh valleys I noticed multiple APs), it seems kind of pointless. The sillyness doesn't stop there however. Those with a penchant for looking ridiculous can now also get some matching shoes.FAIL.wifi-detecting clothing is the hypercolor of...

via Linux.com :: Newsvac by (author unknown) on May 06, 2008
Two months ago we had looked at the Tyan Tempest i5400XT motherboard, which was Tyan's latest product based upon Intel's newest workstation chipset and had support for dual Intel Xeon quad-core processors. We found the Tempest i5400XT to be a real winner and everything had worked terrific with Linux. Today we are looking at another Tyan workstation motherboard but the tides have turned as...

Mozilla Nearing the Finish Line for Firefox 3.0
via Linux.com :: Newsvac by (author unknown) on May 06, 2008
Mozilla is nearing the finish line for the latest version of its open source browser. Firefox 3.0 was initially planned for launch by the end of 2007, but Mozilla pushed the delivery deadline back all the way to mid 2008 in an effort to soften all the rough edges of the browser. It appears that the trade has paid off, as Firefox 3.0 reflects the focus on quality even from Beta 5 stage, ahead of...

Herramienta para acelerar las descargas P2P
via Barrapunto by Yonderboy on May 06, 2008
Caribdis nos cuenta: «Un equipo de investigadores de la Universidad de Northwestern ha creado un complemento para Azureus que aumenta la velocidad de descarga hasta en un 207% (la media se queda en un 31%, que tampoco está mal). Le han llamado ONO (en hawaiano, "bueno para comer"). Al parecer se basa en el concepto de redes P4P o de superpares. Está siendo evaluado por 150.000 usuarios.»

via Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome by (author unknown) on May 06, 2008
I know what you're all thinking, "Damn, Geekologie ain't had no sweet LEGO posts in awhile, how am I supposed to get my fix?" Well put the needles down my friends, the LEGO post is back, this time in the form of a monster puke colored tower.
